Raven’s Yard is about the place where we stand, poised, seeing what has finished and what is just beginning to rise. How we tell our story defines the shape it will take. Raven helps us recognize our truth amid the chaos. It’s good to spend a little time in Raven’s Yard as you navigate Life’s Transitions.

My Thoughts on the Work
This piece is a part of the Transitions series. I was thinking about the way transitional moments in life can feel both stark and exhilarating at the same time. Raven spoke to me, reminding me how we see our lives is all about the story we’re telling. We shine the light where and how we want to shine it to best tell our tale. It’s easy to forget this is always how it is, but in the Transitional moments of our lives we have the opportunity to stop and really see the truth of matters if we so choose. Raven’s Yard is the place we go to do that.
